"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Everyone was so nice and helpful! Not only was I able to email the staff to set up a time to come by and visit since I would only be in town for a short time, but then when I showed up everyone was beyond helpful in making sure we found the right items. Laura helped me at the store and went back and forth between the stock room and a make shift dressing room so I could try on a variety of items. She also helped my mom and I select our perfect yoga mats. She made us feel welcome and not like we were taking her away from her daily business by intruding. Laura also gave me a preview look at the Portland bridge leggings and then later that week sent me an email saying they were available on the website now. From start to finish everyone was incredible at Evolve! Thank you" (via Resellerratings.com)
The leading yoga publication’s video section is a comprehensive resource with 360-degree views to better understand the nuances of every pose. The routines are more technical, more likely to use Sanskrit terms, and more athletically challenging than the ones I came across on DoYogaWithMe. My two main gripes with Yoga Journal’s online offerings: The videos were often shorter than I’d like (I find I need about an hour to get into a meditative, head-clearing state) and didn’t include any user reviews, so I found myself clicking around aimlessly in search of videos that would be a good fit. That being said, the production quality and detailed explanation of each pose is hard to beat when it comes to free yoga resources.

It may be a bit of a late reply - I have a Manduka Eko and the Manduka towel. When I'm not that sweaty I find the mat itself is super grippy, but gets slippy when wet. But the towel is awesome, and gets stickier as I get sweatier! It's even been brilliant for the occasional hot yoga class - but mostly I just mean full on Fiji flow class sweaty :) Not the cheapest or lightest option, but really works for me. The towel can then also be easily washed, and, unlike some other towels I've tried, doesn't move or get twisted during practice.

The grippiest, most comfortable yoga mat in the world is still a pain if you’re constantly struggling to lug it to and from class. If you intend on commuting with your mat, you may want to consider one that is lighter or comes with a carrying case. Just remember that if it doesn’t, a carrying case will cost extra. Weight and thickness also come into play. Heavier and thicker mats will be a bit bulkier to travel with than sleeker, thinner ones.

I am so glad you like it and that I was able to give back in some way. I enjoy your site and all your teachers that I have experienced so far. I am enjoying the mat as well, but I managed to put a tear in it, dropped my ipad on it while setting up to practice at home this morning. I can still use it but If you ever buy some for your studio and mention me as the introducer with my email address, they will send me a mat on the house.
As I said above, I have only been impressed by the B Mat. The B Mat Everyday is constructed with 100% rubber (both natural and synthetic), without using harsh chemicals, finishes or sealants, and feels good under my skin. The B Mat Everyday also provides decent padding, even though it's only 4mm thick and 4.1 lbs (if you are looking for more padding, get the 2mm-thicker B Mat Strong reviewed above). Like it’s thicker cousin, this mat feels durable, is surprisingly light and has incredible grip in both wet and dry conditions.

Polyvinyl chloride is a synthetic material commonly used in yoga mats because it keeps slippage to a minimum, is durable, provides the most “give,” and tends to be the cheapest material. A concern with PVC, without going into too much detail, is that it contains phthalates — substances that have been linked to health issues and negative impacts on the environment.
